I like Rove. Don't know him, but anyone who can transform otherwise
rational
individuals into babbling lunatics at the mere mention of his name, as I
see
with my friends of the other political persuasion, must have a helluva
lot
of mojo.

He's amazingly effective at what he does, but I don't believe the ends
justify the means, which is what he's all about.

In a perfect world, perhaps, but Washington is far from a perfect
microcosmic world. It gets very bloody there.

That's certainly true, but just how much should be tolerate... I don't
like that kind of politics. I don't think it's healthy for us as a nation,
and I think it shouldn't be supported at all.

That's why I detested James Carville during the Clinton administration. He
was Clinton's "Karl Rove."

Sure. He did all this before the 2004 election, and you vigorously
supported him them. So who made the mistake?

I'm supposed to be a soothsayer? Can you predict the future?

... Of course no Democrat will do any better.

So, you're just bitterly anti-Democrat? At least that's a simple policy,
easy to explain.

I'm not bitterly anything. Frankly I just don't care enough about politics
to get involved beyond a random discussion in this NG. I do believe that
the secular-progressive (cultural) movement is dangerous to the future of
this country, but not all democrats are secular-progressives. In the
upcoming election I plan to vote for at least three democrats on the local
level and one on the state level. All are solid citizens, patriots, and
have performed their jobs with sincerity and diligence. Their GOP
challengers are inexperienced, unknown entities. I prefer public servants
with some worthwhile experience.


... To expect any president to actually make and execute policies which
benefit the populace is naive. The Washington Game is one of money and
favors.


In that case, the fools are the people who continue to vote for it.

Do we have a choice? Both democrats and republicans play the
money-for-favors game. Both care more about preserving their jobs than
about their constituents. So one votes for the people who most closely
mirror his/her beliefs. As I said above, no one is perfect, but some have
fewer warts than others.

I have no doubt that both houses of Congress will change hands this
election. Bush will essentially be rendered impotent with respect to
ramrodding his agenda through to his desk for signing. The net effect is
that nothing substantive will get done over the next two years, which might
be a good thing considering the past three years.
